MINWAX Water-Base Wipe-On Polyurethane 16fl oz

I never have much luck with polyurethane, I always end up with a drip I didn’t notice until it was completely dry. When I needed to seal a butcher block style table I found this. It was so easy to use. I used a foam brush to apply it, I tried a rag first but the foam worked much better. On the round legs I did use the rag after the foam to make sure I didn’t have and drips. It turned out wonderfully, so glad I found this product, will definitely use it again.

Absolutely great stuff. Makes refinishing and resealing SO easy! I had a vintage table that was painted but the paint was flaking and I wanted to stop it from deteriorating.I was able to seal this perfectly with 3 coats, and the satin finish is beautiful - like a wax finish. I did it all inside, there is almost no odor, and it dries quickly.

I really enjoy using this wipe on polycrylic as a beginner furniture flipper. It’s very user friendly. I’m taking away one star because I do not like the bottle. I think if it were in a jar I’d like it just a tiny bit more. However, I would recommend and repurchase!

The Minwax Clear Wipe-On Poly is the first and only product I’ve purchased for my furniture refurbishing projects, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. This water-based polyurethane is incredibly easy to work with, providing a beautiful satin finish that enhances the natural beauty of wood while sealing and protecting it effectively.I use sponge painting brushes to apply an even layer of coating, and the results have been consistently impressive. The finish is smooth, durable, and adds a professional touch to my projects. Even furniture I coated two years ago still looks fantastic and shows no signs of wear, which gives me hope for its long-term durability.For anyone looking to refurbish or protect their furniture, I highly recommend this product. It’s simple to use and delivers stunning, lasting results!

I purchased the clear satin wipe on poly.I was refinishing an old table. I think it's maple but not 100% sure. This was my first time working with poly. The previous owners had put what seemed like a hot pot on the table leaving a very deep burn mark.I first sanded down the entire table and sanded out the burn marks. Then I applied about four or five coats of this poly. I used some cheap sponges I bought on Amazon. I just squirted a bit of the product on the table and used to the sponge applicator and lightly applied it evenly. I used a flashlight to shine on the table to highlight any bubbles. I just went over that area again lightly with the sponge. This stuff dries pretty fast so you need to work quickly. Overall they were not many issues with the bubbles. It would just happen when I had too much product on an area.After applying the first coat, the raw wood will absorb the poly and fluff up. So after the first coat I used a fine grain sandpaper and lightly sanded it smooth with a few strokes by hand. I let it dry overnight in between each coat. If parts of the table feel a little rough between coats, just run sand paper over it very lightly. Make sure to remove dust.I applied the poly outside because on the container it says that the fumes are toxic and should not be breathed in. Then I let it dry for a few hours before bringing it inside. I found that the odor was surprisingly extremely mild, even right after application. After it was dry, there did remain a slight odor. But it was not too unpleasant. It just smells like that smell you get when you buy new furniture. I guess that's what poly smells like.I only applied this poly and nothing else. I was really pleased with the results. It really brought out the golden rich color of the maple, and left it with a beautiful glow and a subtle shine.It was really nice to only have to buy a single product and get these kinds of results.

I absolutely love this stuff! I like that you can wipe it on and the smell isn’t too strong either

Used this to seal the laminate top on a work bench I had built. Put some time into prep and proper sanding and clean up between each coat and you will notice a big difference once finished. I added about 5 coats and it left me with a nice durable finish that’s easy to clean.

Get inconsistent results with this product if it’s wiped on just a little too thick it resembles a permanent foggy glow which clearly is not the desired result.
